    1. Re: [LAOIS] 1911 and 1901 Irish Census Online Project, National Archives, What's Happened?
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: sniliaghin Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.lex.general/2626.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The problem, I imagine, is simply that they now realise how long this is all going to take. Have you ever actualy looked at one of the original census documents - doesn't matter which year, or for which county. There are mistakes, all over the place - name spellings, parishes, even as regards the counties that parishes are supposed to be in. I guess the National Archives along with the Canadians will get what they can on line as soon as they can. FVrom what I remember, 1911 is coming before 1901 - the 1901 census is much more difficult to read - honest I've got most the 1901 census Heads of Household for Laois listed on my From Ireland website Took me an awful long time to go through the films - Gow knows how long it wil take those who are transcribing the ful census, or, if theyt can interpret the names properly!
